Event will take place at the Alexandria Area High School Softball Complex, and if there’s inclement weather it will be held at Discovery Middle School.
The Twins Community Fund Youth Clinics have always been, and will continue to be, available to participants and host communities free of charge. Registration is required to participate in a clinic – participants can register at www.playballmn.com.
